African-American museum removes controversial chart linking 'whiteness' to self-reliance, decision-making
July 17, 2020
Sam Dorman

The National Museum for African American History and Culture (NMAAHC) has removed its controversial chart on whiteness from one of its webpages, telling people on Thursday that it didn't contribute to a "productive conversation" about racial issues.

"Since yesterday, certain content in the 'Talking About Race' portal has been the subject of questions that we have taken seriously. We have listened to public sentiment and have removed a chart that does not contribute to the productive discussion we had intended," the museum said in a statement

Here's the chart that was "removed":

(save this image before it's removed from the source!)
Please read through it carefully, and tell me where you disagree with it...

They removed the chart but the rest of the racist propaganda remains.

So, evidently to avoid being "white" one must value subjectivity over objectivity, be rude, irrational, indecisive, unpunctual, live for the moment, and put play before work.  Sounds like a recipe for failure in every culture and civilization the world has ever known and any which is likely to arise in the future.

Maybe the overall message is to avoid whiteness by failing?

A few things made me laugh:

" Wife is homemaker and subordinate to the Husband"
My wife would get a kick out of that one!

"Heavy focus on the British Empire"
No, we voted those guys out in 1776, had a revolution, it was in all the papers...

"No tolerance for deviation from single God concept"
I have a single God concept, but I am tolerant of others if they do not.

"Majority Rules (when whites have the power)"
Odd, since  most of our laws are to stop totalitarianism, and protect the minority from the authoritarians.
Think 2A,

"Steak and Potatoes-"bland is best""
I love a good steak, now, I'd like to introduce you to my Cajun brethren....
